Help me get start with LSDyna
I have a civil engineering background and will be starting a research position focused on computational modeling of soil-structure interaction and roadside safety structures like guardrails, barriers, piles, etc under vehicle impact. I have been advised to learn HyperMesh, CAD and LS-DYNA before joining. Can anyone guide me on where to start with LS-DYNA for this kind of work? Also for CAD modeling is AutoCAD sufficient or should I learn SolidWorks?
